I have a Kaaz 1.5 way and love it. No problems at all.

1.5 will only lock up under acceleration, 2 way will lock under accel/ or decel, more for drifting. And sounds like you need suspension and tires to help you, not a diff.

yea a two will sound and somewhat feel like a welded diff. you'll prob want to get a 1.5 if you going to drive it often on the streets. 2 ways can get very annoying driving them on the street

1.5 way = mostly everything
2 way = drifting

Loosen that suspension up to make it set the weight on the rear wheels.

Touching up on what everyone else says:

Loosen up the rear suspension-since you have coilovers I'd loosen them up all the way, maybe check to see if your springs are preloaded at all.

If you're having any wheel hop look into a pinion snubber.

With that much HP you're still going to have a little wheel spin with drag radials, maybe you should look into full slicks?

Diff can help a little.
